1) Stone skin depend on your encumbrance, and staff. Buff in robe, regear = loose effect, like buff in heavy.2) It block your mana regen, so you will loose your stamina fast and die no stamina3) Enchants provide more4) Armor master do not count your enchants and buffs, only real armor5) You need max earth magic, passive and intencity to have atleast +2 on hight lvl...

Only on your staff. You can wear the heaviest gear and still get the same buff as though you were wearing bone/robes. The hardest part is dealing with no mana regen in heavy armor, but since you are regenerating life so fast you can just hp to mana a few times.

wait, it do not counts in encumbrance? If it's true than it's bugged.. let me test it.edit: just tested it, encumbrance has effect on it, it lowers it but by a joker like amount... I guess it's bugged... it should destroy the buff greatly....

Ye? How much prots does it give in that setup? 1? 1.5?Gl with your mana, even as a warrior.

wait gosti, I just tested it, it lose like 0.2 in numbers after changing to melee wep from buff staff + heavy armor from robe (that even gives a large amount of spell buff) I guess it's bugged.. I doubt that any non drunk developer would make a setup like that : P

I think the buffs need to be effected by encumbrance and staff magnitude a little more. I'm not sure about hiding it behind a school, I do think that all buff others should be title blocked though and given a buff to duration.

I too thought about getting earth magic just for the buff. But after a clanmate got it, we tested and figured it screws too much with manareg. So I won't touch it. As far as I know, there is no spell or school you need as meele/archer. (except lesser and greater magic) I could be wrong though
